Sukkot 2014

By
Part of Hebron's purpose is to provide a setting for us to keep YHVH's feasts and Sukkot is the highlight of the year.  People come and go as they are able but this small expression of Yeshua's body endeavour to honour YHVH and His ways and let the hills ring out with praises.

Our week together was filled with fellowship and fun, prayer and praise, love and laughter.  No one could ever accuse us of being ritualistic or highly traditional but our times of scripture, prayer and praise take pre-eminence during the week.

We had time to enjoy a picnic and cricket match ...

We can be a competitive mob so a few competitions were in order as well ....

Commodore Sharkey spearheaded the inaugral pop-pop boat race and set a standard of excellence in nautical design.

The new barbeque area was finished during the week and we look forward to making good use of it over the summer months.  Neal and Yohanan celebrated their birthdays so the week was full of celebrations!

It is the wisdom of YHVH that the moed point to Yeshua the Messiah and the coming age where He will reign with justice and righteousness and torah will go forth from Jerusalem.  These times bring refreshing and allow us to focus once again on those things that are eternal and worthy.
Psalm 122
I was glad when they said to me,
“The house of YHVH! Let’s go!”
 
Our feet were already standing

at your gates, Yerushalayim.
Yerushalayim, built as a city
fostering friendship and unity.
The tribes have gone up there, the tribes of YHVH,
as a witness to Isra’el,

to give thanks to the name of YHVH.
 
For there the thrones of justice were set up,
the thrones of the house of David.
Pray for shalom in Yerushalayim;
may those who love you prosper.
 
May shalom be within your ramparts,

prosperity in your palaces.
For the sake of my family and friends, I say,
“Shalom be within you!”
 
For the sake of the house ofYHVH our God,

I will seek your well-being.

Unleavened Bread - 2024

By
For this small part of Yeshua's body, Healing to the Nations in South Australia, the last few months, including the past week of Pesach, has been ....well, different and unusual.  It has truly been a period of time where Father YHVH has been rooting and grounding us in His love, word and truth.  We gathered together at Hebron to keep the Pesach memorial and there was a stripping back.  No traditions, no add-ons, just Yeshua's Pesach and Yeshua's words.  The following day, the first day of Unleavened Bread, the Father's kindness and uncompromising truth was manifested amongst us.  It was truly a blessed time together.  Traditionally the week of unleavened bread will have an emphasis of dealing with the carnal ego, which is very apt, or the leaven of the pharisees, which is also very apt.  However, Paul emphasised that sin that is tolerated is also leaven that must be exposed and dealt with to ensure that the body of Yeshua is kadosh, which was emphasise...

Sukkot in the Adelaide Hills

By
  With the autumn feasts upon us I was reflecting on Sukkot last year and how the year since has been full of YHVH's blessings and encouragements.   The HTTN community purchased the property nearly 19 years ago and we have worked hard to develop it.  There is still much to be done so that it can facilitate the purposes that YHVH wants for it but He has proven Himself faithful to His word over the years.  Not a minute too late, not a minute too soon.   We are looking forward to celebrating Yom Teruah next week and then Sukkot a few weeks later.  Hebron will once again be filled with the sound of shofars, singing and laughter.  Yes, there have been times of weeping and even then He proves Himself merciful and faithful. Hallelu Yah!

Shalom with Messiah

By
In a few weeks we will begin the next phase of the moed with Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.  As with every year, we are eagerly anticipating this time with YHVH and the community in the Adelaide Hills.   One thing we say every year is that we long for the day when the wider Messianic community come together at Sukkot to celebrate with praise, feasting and fellowship.  It would seem that the Messianic community is relatively young and scattered in Australia and in the early days we would at times wonder if there was anyone else responding to the call to come out of the Christian church system and return to the ancient paths.  And of course there were and are. It's always so exciting when we meet another person or family who are on the same path and we can rejoice together.  We all have different stories, backgrounds and experiences but the common and binding truth is that YHVH is love and that love is expressed not only in His redemption but in the fullness o...
